uuIndicator, Coming On/Blinking uIf the Electric Power Steering (EPS) System Indicator Comes On
Handling the Unexpected
If the Electric Power Steeri ng (EPS) System Indicator
Comes On
■Reasons for the indicator to come on
• Comes on when there is a problem with the EPS system.
• If you depress the accelerator pedal repeatedly to increase the engine
speed while the engine is idling, the indicator comes on, and
sometimes the steering wheel becomes harder to operate.
• Comes on when EPS steering angle cent er point memory is lost. This
could be due to a number of problems to include: battery disconnect,
main fuse blow, low battery causing reset of the EPS system, wire
damage to EPS harness. Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA ®) system, VSA®
OFF, Collision Mitiga tion Braking System
TM (CMBSTM)*, and low tire
pressure/TPMS* indicators also come on.
The Drive Carefully Systems Initializing... message appears on the
driver information interface.
■What to do when th e indicator comes on
• Stop the vehicle in a safe place and restart the engine.
If the indicator comes on and stays on, immediately have your vehicle
inspected by a dealer.
• If the EPS indicator, VSA ® system indicator, VSA® OFF indicator,
CMBS
TM indicator*, and low tire pressure/TPMS indicator* come on
simultaneously, you need to ca librate the VSA and EPS systems.
Drive at a speed of more than 12 mph (20 km/h) to calibrate the VSA
and EPS systems.
If the indicators come on and stay on, park your vehicle in a safe
place, turn off and restart the engine, then repeat the above
operation.
If the indicators still come on an d stay on, immediately have your
vehicle inspected by a dealer.

uuIndicator, Coming On/BlinkinguIf the Low Tire Pressure/TPMS Indicator Comes On or Blinks
Handling the Unexpected
If the Low Tire Pressure/TPMS Indicator Comes On or
Blinks
■Reasons for the indicator to come on or blink
A tire pressure is signifi cantly low, or the TPMS has not been calibrated.
If there is a problem with the TPMS or the compact spare tire
* is
installed, the indicator blinks for about one minute, and then stays on.
■What to do when the indicator comes on
Drive carefully and avoid abrupt cornering and hard braking.
Stop your vehicle in a safe place. Ch eck the tire pressure and adjust the
pressure to the specified level. The sp ecified tire pressure is on a label on
the driver side doorjamb. u Calibrate the TPMS after the tire pressure is adjusted.
■What to do when the indicator blinks, then remains on
Have the tire inspected by a dealer as soon as possible. If the compact
spare tire causes the indicator to blink, change the tire to a full-size tire.
The indicator goes off after driv ing for a few miles (kilometers).
u Calibrate the TPMS after a full-size tire is reinstalled.

the ground. The rear tires remain on the ground. This is an acceptable way to
tow your vehicle.
